NELL USA

A full-scale lifestyle + product production to launch a Japanese mattress brand into the U.S. market.


Nell (now Nellify) needed warm, modern lifestyle imagery to introduce their Japanese-made mattress to U.S. consumers. This was my first large-scale production blending photo + video, a full family cast, and a complete on-set team — and it became a defining moment that showed me I could lead bigger-budget commercial shoots with clarity and confidence.

What I Led

  • Full production management — from concept planning to shoot-day execution
  • Location scouting to find a bright, natural home environment that fit Nell’s brand aesthetic
  • Casting & talent direction for a three-person family unit
  • Crew assembly & leadership: assistant, set decorator/props/wardrobe, and fixer
  • Shotlist + story flow development tailored to Nell’s website and U.S. launch needs
  • Photo + video direction capturing warmth, comfort, and lived-in family moments


What We Delivered

  • 20 lifestyle + product images featured across their website
  • 50 raw video clips optimized for social media and advertising
  • Visuals used to support their U.S. launch campaign and early website rollout
  • Content shaped to highlight craftsmanship, comfort, and family-friendly everyday use

Impact

  • Helped Nellify enter the U.S. market with fresh, approachable, human-centered visuals
  • Produced a cohesive library of assets for web, paid ads, and social storytelling
  • Strengthened their brand narrative around comfort, Japanese quality, and everyday family life
  • Marked a pivotal milestone in my growth — proving I could confidently lead larger, multi-role productions
